    1. If TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is installed after installing TIBCO Service Performance Manager, then replace the %TIBCO_EMS_HOME_ESC% variable with correct installation path for Enterprise Message Service 6.0 or above.
       <jar file="%TIBCO_EMS_HOME_ESC%/lib/tibjms.jar"/>
      Note: In case of Enterprise Message Service 8.x or above, add the filepath of jms-2.0.jar archive file.
      <jar file="<EMS_HOME>/lib/jms-2.0.jar"/>
    2. Replace the %TIBCO_SPM_HOME_ESC% variable with the correct installation path of Service Performance Manager.
    3. Replace the %TIBCO_JAVA_HOME_ESC% variable with the correct installation path of TIBCO JRE, which is included with the Service Performance Manager installation.
  2. Edit and modify the run-lvserver.bat file at SPM_HOME/smbw-agent/liveview and set the correct installation path for TIBCO StreamBase LiveView in the STREAMBASE_HOME property.
  3. Run the LiveView server, LiveView Desktop, and connect to the LiveView server.
    1. Run the LiveView server from the command prompt as follows:
      <SMBW_HOME>/liveview > run-lvserver <BW6_liveview_project_path>
    2. Start LiveView Desktop.
      The Connect to LiveView dialog is displayed.
    3. In the Connect to LiveView dialog, connect to the LiveView server using the same host and port as specified in the sbd.sbconf file.
